William ID. Clark of "Greenlea Place
Delaware City, and President of the Del
aware City National Bank, of Delaware
City, was stricken with paralysis on Sun
day evening. Mr.. Clark is one of the
leading farmers and business men of the
state. He has not enjoyed good health
for over fifty years, but by careful and
abstemious living he has been enabled
to extend his life to over three score
years and ten, and to accomplish during
that period an extraordinary amount of
work in managing his large farms,
his financial interests at Delaware City
and numberless estates of his deceased
Or insolvent neighbors. In addition to
these his services to the Presbyterian
Church, of which he has been life long
member, have also been heavy drain
upon his time and strength.
Later report reached us that Mr.. Clark
died at O'Clock on Wednesday. 1t is
estimated that the deceased leaves prop
erty worth about $l5O,OOO. The funeral
takes place to-day. Interment in st.
Georges cemetery.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking oil Of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as well
as relieving the burden of home manu-
features. Especially is this the case with
GREEN'S August Elo0rr and Boschce's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty
six cents per dozen, has been added to
increase the size of the bottles contain
ing these remedies, thereby giving one
fifth more medicine in the IS cent size.
The 1ugra Fiowcr for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup
for Cough and Lung troubles, have per
haps the largest sale of any medicines

preciated by the sick and afflicted, in

tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents re-
main the same size.

RFwBhIpG REIQERKS
ABOUT DRUGGISTS and BASE
BALL.

There is probably no class of men
whose education is so little appreciated
us il that of the druggist. As II rule the
physicians of IL town tam vouch for the
truth of this assertion. l.ast winter
had conversation with an intelligent
and skillful druggist oil Philadelphia.
whom know to be qualified and rlia-
BILE in the business he follows. "Sn YOU
once thought of being druggist" said
he, "and expected to live in brick cor
ner house, with Il well kept lawn, smoke
good cigars, and have few cares Well,
sir, you are to De congratulated upon
your failing to carry ont your intentions.
You thought you would spend your life
in experiments, and be looked upon as II
scientist. The actual facts are that you
would bug your drugs, that Icing much
cheaper; you would put up your tinct-
ures, your hair oils, but few other prep
arations except physicians prescriptions.
You see your dreams of scientific re-
search fading away, don't you? 1t you
lived in the city you would be- on duty
from a. IN. to ] | r. M, when you would
retire to rest within easy call, possibly to
be aroused TO put up Il prescription not
at all urgent. Then again, half of the big
profits are all in your eye, and if you
make mistake you may be fined, or
imprisoned or both. Druggists sell fancy
articles usually. Why do they? Because
they can't make living unless they do.
Then physician sometimes sends in
n prescription that can't be filed for
instance, the prescription may call for
two ingredients that when mixed form Il
solid mass, which you n.not get ont of
the bottle without breaking it. That
happens sometimes. You kindly point
out his error,-which isn't pleasant. A
druggists life is not gilt edged my friend
Keep away from it."
TO tell the truth, expect he was in
the dumps and that he really could not
complain financially. Taking into con
sideration, however, the thoroughness
and comprehensiveness of the course at
Il iirst-cass College of Pharmacy, such an
education is less appreciated than any
other of equal breadth. Such College
with high charges can afford to be thor
ough and exacting in its requirements,
and it is 50.
The average druggists-mark this down
knows more of medicine usually than
the average-well, than the average rep
resentative of a profession not very far
removed.
That is what the druggist tell me. I'll
interview some members of the other
profession soon, and see what they have
to say.
